Pecos Wilderness Map

The Pecos Wilderness Map produced by the US Forest Service contains the most up-to-date information on access roads, trails, campsites, terrain, and points of interest within the Pecos Wilderness. All wilderness maps contain contour lines, a topographic quad index and contact phone numbers, and the vast majority contain planning tips and descriptions of the terrain.

At least 15 of the wilderness lakes offer first-rate fishing, as do 150-plus miles of sparkling streams. These waters head the Wild and Scenic Pecos River. Here at the southern end of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, elevations range from 8,400 feet to 13,103 feet atop South Truchas Peak, the state's second highest point.

The scenery varies (although it's always extraordinary) from 100-foot-drop waterfalls and crumbled talus slopes to dramatic rock cliffs, towering peaks, and wildflower meadows best caught in July and August. Engelmann spruce, corkbark fir, ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, white fir, limber pine, bristlecone pine, and aspen pack the forest. Equally diverse is the wildlife,including elk, deer, bear, bighorn sheep and turkeys.
